PITTSFORD, Mich. - eTradeWire -- As the 2026 dock season begins, Alumi-Span Docks is celebrating 70 years of manufacturing high-quality aluminum docks— marking seven decades of innovation and service to waterfront property owners across the country.

In recognition of this milestone, the company is highlighting a core feature that has defined its products since day one—anodized aluminum construction.

Anodized aluminum docks offer significant advantages over wood, vinyl, and standard mill-finish aluminum alternatives. Through an electrochemical process that converts the metal's surface into a harder, more stable form of aluminum oxide, anodizing creates a dock material that resists corrosion, requires minimal maintenance, stays cooler underfoot in summer heat, and maintains its appearance for decades.

"Anodized aluminum has been central to what we build since day one—and it's a big reason our docks are still performing decades later," the company noted. "It's why so many of our docks are still in use after 50 years or more."

Unlike painted or coated surfaces that can peel or chip over time, the anodized layer used in Alumi-Span dock sections is integral to the metal itself—permanently bonded and engineered to withstand the demanding conditions of waterfront environments.
